Hello everyone. This past week I’ve been grinding more balatro and also played Elden Ring: Nightreign. I was only able to play one session but I am enjoying it so far. I have to make some edits to the control scheme because I forgot how much I hate it when the X button isn’t jump. Hope everyone has a good week ahead
I just finished getting my last two Steam cheevos in Stardew Valley last night, and now I’m kind of at an impasse. I spun up a Valheim server several weeks ago, so if my spouse and/or kid are interested, we’ll probably be doing that. Otherwise, I have a BG3 Dark Urge Honor Mode run with maybe 3 hours into it, and I still haven’t finished Sea of Stars. Sea of Stars will require less tearing down and cleaning the dust out of my PC, so I’m leaning in that direction at the moment.
I finished Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) for the first time yesterday. i feel like a changed person. im scared to try any other RE game because they’re (reportedly) nowhere near as good and i dont want to sour my memories.
If it’s the gameplay you’re after RE5 functions much the same
I gotta disagree, the core gameplay may be the same but the level design and boss fights are dogshit by comparison
Even if I could excuse the racism of the game, it’s just so much worse than RE4
I managed to get Cities Skylines 2 running on my PC by overriding the anti-aliasing controls to disable MSAA in my Nvidia x-config settings, so I’ve dumped around 18 hours into that this week and will probably dump another 6 or so tonight into it.
I love city builders 🤤🤤
Just finished the first act of Clair Obscur. I’m absolutely loving the game, the combat is immaculate and the story has me utterly gripped, but I’m having to play it in 15-30 minute bursts because it keeps crashing. I think I finally found a combination of cpu and gpu settings that keep it stable last night (a whole hour and half of uninterrupted play!), but I don’t understand at all why they work. The gpu is heavily underclocked with the minimum clock turned way up, while the cpu is slightly underclocked and undervolted. For some reason this hasn’t affected my framerate at all, just made it run without crashing (either just the program or the entire computer).
Anyway, the act 1 to 2 transition and story and gameplay consequences have blown me away yet again. It’s such a ridiculous game, no element of it is really new as such, it draws them all from other games, but every element is so perfectly executed and integrated with the other elements that it’s almost awe inspiring. The art, body language, the voice arrangement (if you can name another game that has characters talking over each other that isn’t Lost Odyssey I will give you a brownie point), the unique character mechanics and abilities, the dodging and parry, the pictos and lumina, the exploration, and now the story and mechanical integration of a new character joining has me questioning the entire character interface and what it hides. It’s almost enough to entirely distract me from how much I hate the French
Hey I’m playing it too right now! Still in the first act, just finished beating all the bosses in Flying Waters!
Agree with pretty much everything, it’s so fun! Story is great, combat mechanics are just the right amount of complex, and yes the audio and voice acting are godly. Sorry yours keeps crashing!
I’ve made it to act 3 and am currently on wrapping up time. My partner is enjoying watching it as she wants to know what happens and I have to fight my innate urge to make bad glass cannon builds that will die if I miss one parry (and also doing all the minigames to get silly outfits) so I can continue through the story at a somewhat brisk pace.
Esquie is best boy.
I’m so addicted to parrying I can’t not make glass cannon builds. I spent 15 minutes parrying one boss to death because it was acting twice for each of my turns.
Still playing Breath of the Wild on my PC
and taking it slow. Kinda want to play Monster Train 2 but I’ll probably wait for a salepokemon red version
im old
I reinstalled Far Cry 2 after malding my shit off over a wrong video essay and one thing I never noticed before how well the game incentivizes you to just give off a salvo at something you saw in the corner of your eye or through some cover. Your guns are a bit inaccurate so you mostly can’t just line up headshots and click once, might aswell spray at that bush you think you saw some muzzleflash in. If you played any of the original STALKER games they work kinda like this, too, but Far Cry 2s enviroment is a hell of a lot more interactive, it really makes for a spectacle
Balatro controls my life.
I finally have a win on gold stake, and I have most of the challenge modes done. I think I intend to 100% complete it which will take some time.
Challenge modes were so fun and interesting; the last couple are brutal, with the final one being too much that I just looked up how people managed it.
Tue only challenges I have left are xray vision, golden needle, cruelty, and jokerless.
I took a break from grinding cruelty after losing to the final blind because I didn’t check the boss ability and it hard countered me
Yeah those are all hard ones iirc, cruelty took me about ten hours of grinding to finish it. Jokerless probably would take another 50, and I can’t commit to that. I want to actually play the fun part of the game with jokers and such.
Still playing SNES romhacks, they’re some of the best options for a quick 5 minute session between taking care of the baby.
Still on my oblivion remastered cloud gaming gamepass bullshit. I usually end up playing a stealthy type character in all RPGs so this time I said fuck it and just made a big tank who hits things with a sword (or mace!). It’s been fun but I’m like level 26 now and there’s basically no challenge left in the game. Not that challenge is what we really come to a bethesda rpg for!
i think i will play my bg3 honour mode save again today. i stopped for a while right before grym bc it’s my least favourite fight in the whole game
Don’t starve together, its my favorite game and after like a yearish without a computer I’ve been loving playing again
Recently played a few times with my friend but wish I had someone who was also into it that could play more often :/
Finished Dark Souls 1 for the first time last week. Started Dark Souls 2. Played the games on release but I didn’t have the gamer patience to really get through them. I know DS2 is the black sheep but I’m honestly really liking some of the changes so far, the menus in particular.
Got 99 slayer on rs3, my next rs3 goal is 96 herblore for overloads and I should be well on my way to high level PvM.
Enjoying the lethal company update while simultaneously sad about my mod pack being broken by it.
